about

While this isn't *our* story (that involves Mtn Dew), I wrote this for a video game-themed burlesque show with him in mind. :)

lyrics

I want to be a Link to your Zelda
I want to guide you through Gannon's keep
I want to help you unlock your power
If you look then I will leap

Remember we grew up together
Just two kids with skinned knees
But rainy days were my favorite
When we'd game for an hour or three
After school you'd come over
And we'd turn on the 64
We shared a single save file
And that was when I swore

I want to be a Link to your Zelda
I want to guide you through Gannon's keep
I want to help you unlock your power
If you look then I will leap

When I left for college
I stuttered to tell you
That you were all I wanted
But I just couldn't follow through
Letters turned to emails
There were consoles come and gone
We drifted ever farther 'cause
That Song of Time Plays on

I want to be a Link to your Zelda
I want to guide you through Gannon's keep
I want to help you unlock your power
If you look then I will leap

The 64 is generations old
And co-op is all online
But I can't forget the glowing of a CRT TV
Reflected in your eyes

I moved home and you moved in
And 20 years down the line
We're still gaming on a couch together
Just like those rainy times
So let me say what I didn't then
'Cause now I know it's true
You're the hero of my story
And I'm in love with you

I want to be a Link to your Zelda
I want to guide you through Gannon's keep
I want to help you unlock your power
If you look then I will leap
